Nny York BUYS Il Pitcher.

PITrsBURG. July 23.-The reported
sale of Ed Morris, the great left-handed
pitcher, to the New York club, wfs con-
iirmed this morning by President
Nimick. The latter states that the
Pitts5urg club received $1,000 for him.
The management" he says, ''were
satisfied that Morris would not pitch
good Tall here, on account of his con-
vivial habits. Since his return from
the Pacific slope his course has been one
of constant disregard of our entreaties,
commands and even fines, and we had
determined some time ago to sell him at
the first opportunity He thinks
Morris is still capable of pitching good
ball, as was demonstrated in yesterdays
game, and that from this time forward
his work will equal that of any pitcher
in the league. 1t is the intention of the
management to appoint Dalrymple cap
tain of the team. They are at present,
negotiating with two young pitchers, but
refuse to give their names.

Spttldl 10 the GlODe-
MINIATURES, Wis, July 2S.-About
1900 excited individuals witnessed the
game here this afternoon. The contest
was not a startling exhibition of base
ball skill, errors being plentiful, but the
closeneSS of the score kept the excite
ment at the top notch. The Milwaukees
made four runs in the first inning on er-
rOrs, only one safe hit being made. The
st. Paul men scored two IN this inning,
Cleveland making a home-run drive
over the right field fence, sending Will
mot home ahead of him. In the sixth
inning st. Paul made a gallant rally and
scored three runs, Pickett making a
home-run hit. They make desperate
effort TO tie the score in the eighth,
when three runs were scored and two
men still on bases, but a lightning foul
tip catch by Mills closed the inning.
The battery work of Anderson and
Mills was good, the latter's back stop
ping being particularly good. Viau was
not up to his usual standard of effective
ness. Pickett and Anderson led with
the stick for their respective teams.

Noble Work of Life Savers-Four Men
Taken from Sunken Vessel
New YORK, October 3.-The old dOmin-
ion steamer WyanOke, which arrived here
last evening had on board survivors of the
schooner f. b. Everman, which left Wer-
powken on Saturday last bound for Rich
mond, Va. The Wyanoke was about eight
miles off Cape Henry on Sunday morning,
when the lookout sighted the masts of a
vessel to which were clinging four or five
men. Capt Jenny, of the WyanOke, inn
mediately bore down upon the wreck and
although there was a very heavy sea life
boat was lowered and manned by the
second mate, boatSwain and two senmen.
Four hours the gallant life boats crew
battled manfully with the angry waves
only to be tossed helplessly to the fro.
Another boat was manped and lowered,
and again there was brave struggle with
the wind and waves, and at last the
life boat was brought near enough
for the resCuers to throw a
line to the men who were clinging for
dear life to the rigging OF the sunken
schooner. The line was brought fast and
one by one four survivors of Z. 3. Ever
man sprsng from their perilous perch and
were hauled through the waves into the
boat. Still another human form was
plainly visible on the mizzen mast. The
figure was hielesS one. 1t was the body
of man who had succumbed 70 exposure
and "a hO had died some hours nrpviOuSlV
His body WAS firmly fixed on the rigging
and the life savers were compelled to leave
it there Then ensued another fierce
struggle with the waves. The wind,
which, seemingly angry at being cheated
of its prey, increased its fury, but the lit
tie crew stuck to their work, and at last
the men were hauled aboard the steamer
at half-p five p. m, eight hours and a
half from the time the first boat was
lowered

pPoH1RTTION CASE DECIDRD.

A PROHIBITION CASE DECIDED.
Prohibition has received another black
eye in Georgia. The Supreme Court Of
that State has announced its decision in
an important case, viz: BTEsER VS.. the
State of Georgia, growing out of the en-
forcement of the Prohibition act.
In February last JOHN c. BIEsER was
tried in Atlanta upon a charge of violating
the Prohibition act by selling wine by re-
tail to be drunk on the premises. The
testimony was to the effect that BIEsER
had sold q quart bottle of wine to a Gus
toner and had loaned this customer glasses,
from which he and his friends drank the
wine in BIEsER's place. The prosecution
charged that this was selling in a barroom
by retail as contemplated by the statutes.
In his charge to the jury the Judge held
that allowing the purchaser to drink wine
on the premises made the seller retailer.
Mr.. BIEsER was convicted and sentenced
to pay q fine of $1,000. The fine was
subsequently commuted to $500. The
case was carried up to the Supreme Court,
and that Court has reversed the decision
Of the Court below.
In its report of the decision the Atlanta
Constellation says:
Mr.. Justice Blandford delivered the
opinion of the court In commenting upon
the sth section of the general local option
law under which this action was brought,
he said This section provides that moth
ing in this act shall be so construed as to
prevent the manufacture, sale and use OF
domestic wines or cider or the sale OF wines
for sacramental purposes: provided such
wines or cider shall not be sold IN the bar
rooms by retail. What is bar room?
bar room is place where liquors are sold
at retail. The intention of the act was to
prohibit the sale Of wine there by retail.
What is the meaning of retail? Section
1924 OF the code defines the sale OF liquor
in quantities less than one quart as retail
ipU The act of 1884 does not constitute
the sale of liquor in quantities less than
one gallon retailing. 1t merely PROVIDES
that one who sells in quantities less than
q gallon and not less than quart, shall
obtain a license in the same way as persons
who sell in quantities less than one quart,
but it does not make him a retailer.
That act amends section l4l9 OF the
the code prescribing the manner OF obtain
ing license, and the oath to be taken. To
sell in quantities less than one quart Is re-
failing; in quantities more than one quart
is not. Ii was the sale by retail and not
the drinking on the premises that is pro-
hibited. The court below is therefore, re-
yersed

The People are not Blind.
- ~ I'LL

Let the Republicans 60 ahead on their
own line. They know what they can do
best, and since it is bOasting, why, let
them boast to their hearts content. This
is free country, and if they can persuade
the people to think as much OF them as
they seem to think of themselves, all right.
Ours is a government Of the people, for the
people, and by the people, and no one can
deny that the people are king. The Demo
Gratis will probably bestir themselves,
too. and the tournament of 1888 will be
worth looking at. The fight this autumn
will not amount to mach more than
skirmish, but next year it will be pitched
battle. There is very little interest in the
State elections, and their results will not
have any perceptible influence on the polls
next year. This is an off year, and at
such a time the people never brace up, but
are laggard and indifferent. Besides, the
nominees are all fairly good, and we need
not worry much whether the one party
wins or the other. But some one asks, II
the Republicans elect their candidates In
November, aren't you afraid that the pres
tige of victory will enable them to run
their President in in 1888? Not partl-
Gle, and we will tell you why. The Herald
believes in the people-that is, the rank
and file They know more than the ma
chine leaders think they do. They are
not easily wheedled, and, next year, they
will have their eyes wide open to the
issues at stake. The Republicans have no
principles to fight for, or, if they have,
thew conceal them very successfully. What
the country needs and must have, II 1t Is
to be prosperous, is an administration that
represents the whole Republic from Maine
to the Pacific and from the lakes to the
Gulf. Now, the Republican party has
never done that. 1t was not born to do IT.
1t is essentially sectional party, and
never has been anything else. 1t has not
only neglected the millions of the South,
but it never indorses a party platform
without expressing a suspicion OF them
Its business at the present moment is not
to unite North and South, but to keep
them asunder. 1t is as plain rs pike
staff, therefore, that the next President
ought to be man who can see Georgia
lust a. we'll as Ohio, and no Republican
has had the visual ability to do that. The
people of this country are not blind to the
condition ofaffairs. They are clear headed
on the subject, and are ready to give fair
play to everybody, South, North, East
and West. Your State elections may 60
as they please, then, but when it comes to
voting for the perpetuity of our national
institutions and a solid commercial and
patriotic Union of all sections under COM
mon flag, why, the Republican party has
not grown up to such conception, and is
therefore unfit for power. The only party
that can represent the whole country is
democratic. The people see that, we
hope, and will say so at the polls when the
time comes.
